IP Switch discovery ?

[sukran]

IP switch discovery keep changing the ip address while discoverer 

i could see in network adapters field ( 3 vlan ip address) and updating those ip address in the cmdb 

so those all are switch ip ? or what is primary ip for this device

Hi,

Yes the network adaptors can be used to discover the switch. So if discovery schedule see this IPs in one schedule and if you are using probe bases discovery then you will see that it will discover the CI with one IP and other IPs will be marked as Identified, ignored extra IP.

But in pattern based discovery it keeps flipping between those IPs.

Thanks,
Ashutosh

If you are using the Network Switch pattern to discover the switch, the IP address may be changing because of duplicate switch discoveries in the same discovery schedule. The issue is documented in this community article:
